Clomid (Clomiphine Citrate)

Quick info about Clomid (Clomiphine Citrate)

Clomid is a drug given to women for use as a fertility aid. It is a SERM (Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator) which acts by actually binding to the estrogen receptor and thereby blocking estrogen from doing the same. Clearly, this is advantageous when it binds to breast tissue, and prevents estrogen from binding there to cause gynecomastia (although it is not nearly as effective as Nolvadex for this purpose).

Clomid, however, is much weaker than Nolvadex in a mg for mg comparison, with roughly 150mgs of Clomid being equal to 20mgs of Nolvadex. Clomid, just like Nolvadex, is very safe for long term treatment of lowered testosterone levels, with some studies showing its safety and efficacy for up to four months. And post cycle, when steroid users are suffering form lowered testosterone levels, Clomid is most effective.

When you run Clomid for about 3 weeks post cycle, at 100-150mgs, you can experience emotional side effects due to the excess amount of circulating estrogen in your body. All of that extra estrogen tends to make you moody.
